After watching all the other videos on these sirens, yours sounds the best. Good job

[theHippy86]

everyone in southern cali knows when mike buys a new toy

[Thewoog34]

Mike, ever thought of joining the Siren Board? We would have much more to talk about than the Horn and Whistle board when it comes to sirens. You could probably identify this.

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

@Thewoog34 , I have been a member of the Siren Board for a few years now.

[JustJake97]

what part of southern california has snow?!!!

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

@JustJake97 ,Angeles National Forest during Dec - March...

[DonCorleone955]

[theRealAnonymousRain]

I played this video at full blast on my computer and my grandfather ran in holding a hunting rifle. It scared the shit out of me. I guess war does that to a man lol.

[supersteve1138]

ITS ALIVE!!!

[HotTop202]

i have a police station nearby our house it's not far from our house.

they have a thunderbolt 1000t or 1003t but they don't use it but they use the modulator instead(2 sirens close to each other) XD

[Supermassively]

LOL! It's going for a walk.

[94Princesi]

It can move. At 0:54 to 0:56.

[marshey123]

this was the last thing the japanese heard before hiroshima was nuked.

[supersonicbros23]

Lol, its vibrating around.

[douro20]

There is a company called Tokai Denki, but I don't think they are related. It is part of the Shimoda group and is an industrial supply company.

[Captaincaleb1000]

Those Japense and there good ol contraptions

[adyclipper]

when i played this my grandad jumped for his LEE - ENFIELD

[420leadville719]

this is what they heard right before we blew up Hiroshima

[seusgordo]

OH SHIT ITZ MOVING!!! KILL IT!

[chispgigaz]

The name of the manufacturer written on the metal plate is

東海電氣工業株式會社

Tokai denki kougyou kabushiki kaisha

I don't know if it still exists or not.

[AC13011]

incoming bombers !!!

[sbnemesis77]

This is far less creepy than the british air raid sirens.

[codboroks97]

[whoisthisguy724]

Sounds like a Fedelcode model 2

[DustinMFromEnid]

The Americans are coming to kick our ass!

[jackpontiac52]

Incoming B-17's & B-25's !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AirlinePilotZJ]

Mr.Snail did not like this =/ well I did =)

[pab4994]

Sound it off in a small town while screaming and running saying "THE BRITISH ARE COMING"

[CBR600freak]

I want one of these built into an alarm clock.

[MysticalKitty71]

Oh god that would be nice of have at WWII weekend in june of 2011

[ALPHADOG3]

could probably think of a better place than a snow covered mountain to test a air raid siren lol, good vid though.

[Brenzilla4698]

It's Godzilla! Sound the alarm!

[MufcATW]

silent hill

[Dutchguyable]

is it a very loud siren?

[MustBeStarStruck]

[Inresurrection]

[spartan0738]

Where do you think I could buy one of those? or any air raid/tornado siren

[Nikifuj908]

I was watching Downfall recently, and an air raid siren came on. I thought the Russians were nuking us... but it was the movie.

[endifelix]

 i would like to put that on my car lolololol!!!

[ImM0rTaLTeqNique]

its scary to hear that even if you are not being raided.

[immafirinmylozor]

is it a plane?, is it a helicopter?, no, its a air raid siren!

[vickram2386]

Expected it to be louder and of higher pitch !

[nnnicht]

verry good

[U33C]

Back in the day, the next sound you'd hear would be the approaching B-29s.

[JoeFlacco1FAn]

didnt kno they get snow in cali

[Rimes9845]

SOUND THE ALARMS!

[hootergirlsrhot]

the wind down sounds like the federal Q

[lilblueguy]

Do you sell any sirens?



[IndieRokker321]

ha it starts moving @ :44

[Liynkx]

very cool, but that must have been the scariest sound in the world for the people it was used for.

[Dreamer19091991]

NOOOO losing PoWeeeeeeeR ...srgasrg... .fsfsgf........ dead lol

[furno1998]

[29Hz]

The sound of the one used in the movie Jacobs Ladder is the ultimate.. is that one of these or different?

[erwin9763]

where did ya get it

[douro20]

@erwin9763

He said that it came from an army depot in the Philippines.

[MsBobohj]

i love the sound of them

[helipilot94]

its nice how you take it away to do the test

[sonic4sale]

lol wouldnt it be illegal to use this in suburbia? people would freak out. i know you said you used it in a test area on the video.

[Teaandcakesandices]

Is this the one that made all the cows moo?

[tucsondog]

You should take this to a retirement home....

[healthprovic]

On the plate, the top row etched the following

"MOTOR SYREN"

The bottom row is a series of Chinese Character, if translated directly in to english will be something like "EASTERN SEA ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY CO. LTD"

[JMoney5251]

you can see the bitch vibrating across the ground

[djbigcrunk06]

ok how do u get these horns thast tight

[michtorg2]

thats horns..

[MrRabbitBlack]

how much dB does it makes

[guitiar111]

hahahah do it on 2012 people would freak out

[Liquadia]

Hopefully this will go off for real in my life time! CANT WAIT

[zbstr611]

hey big mike, i would like to hear that ship air horn in person, where will you be at next? (in socal area)

[kingbleah]

yep thats what they heard just before they fried!

[BlatentlyBooshified]

May I ask, how do you stop it?

Does it stop automatically or do you switch it off somewhere?

[idonknowmyname1]

i wish it is the school bell

[TheVidaRosa]

東海電氣 - Tokai Electric/East China Electric

The rest of it is hard to translate. Some of the characters are hard to read.

[robertgift]

DO OVER!

Show different angles. (Actually, it was moving and starting to show different views!)

How big is it? You should have held it to show perspective.

Why cover name plate data? Please red above ot below.

50 Hz AC? 25 Hp? Nope.

Let it get to full rpm.

[roslynny]

think the terror in the hearts of women and kids when that was ever run up , back in the day

[theringfilm1]

TOUCH IT

[theojer87]

lol take it to europe

[RatingsMan]

use that at school

[EhManChillOut]

whats the point of buying this?

[theojer87]

random question is it leagel to use cause id think it would make a noise violation or something

[form109]

The Siren Sounds Just a little bit on the Weak side...but Cool Nontheless. :-)

[GECP4256]

You might want to take of Nathan and leslie stuff on your tags. Those are horns. Not sirens.

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

I also have horns. Check out my channel here on youtube. BIGMIKESOCAL. Thanks.

[ass23ful]

has anyone noticed it moves from they air when it winds up

[amrthe1st]

@ass23ful that because of the vibrations and the sloped ground

[mancreep]

Duuuuuuude what the fuck? I bet that thing was worth money :(

[HardDriveGuru]

I might be able to use this. Thanks!

[WILLYBMONEY]

In the book of revelations "Angels come with trumpet sound" Sirens go off plains show up.

[insanezy]

o shit

[moonbeammustang]

lol @ TehFlyGuy. I'm picturing the fan trying to escape from the computer. Sounds and looks like a really REALLY small version of a carter. Pretty weak siren to hear when large B-29's are bombing the hell out of you!

[StratozphereENT]

that one sucks horrably honastly in scale who would hear that connsidering the massive population pf japan

[atgifb]

no horns people

[superguy60073]

nice it move by itself lol

[cdbsr00]

anyone have one of the old Klaxon horns?

[hobbyspieler2000]

Wow, this siren sucks :D

But 5*****

[vanfarowe]

Japanese says - East Coast Electrical Construction Cooperated Company

[boomstick900]

that was it? thought the generator was meant to power something louder...oh well

[TehFlyGuy]

sounds like my computer whenever it tries to take off.(fan problem)

[mikeb1444]

@TehFlyGuy

You my friend, owe me a coke and a new keyboard.

[TehFlyGuy]

haha nice

[aWiibitcrazy]

OMG LOL

[moparjim63]

Looks like a bench grinder!

[rhett443]

you know... iv been a siren fanatic for a LONG time now.. and iv never heard or seen any WWII JAPENESE sirens

[spacecadet404]

wow! that was cool! i have always wanted to know how they emitted that kind of sound and now i know, thank you so much! now i want to know how the horns on ships work :P

[ilikstikz7804]

O.O did that siren just move?

[hotxxxx]

put ur finger in it!

[SKVPC]

that's what i was thinking......lol

[morshu100]

iwas thinking that too :)

[TheLincolnGuy]

Chop some vegitables..lol...

[theloneviewer]

@hotxxxx

One of the guys at my old fire station stuck his finger in the siren on the engine, he lost the tip of his finger.

[Zabpizzapow]

@hotxxxx lol

[Kisame199526]

frikin nuts :P

[00023smitty]

did you see that thing move abit to the left? lol

[sheeveington]

its called vibration

[IMMACUTMAN]

Sneaky Japs stole the Carter design.

[peuterschmidt]

it is a small, vastly distributed Japanese WWII siren, it sounds like the real thing.....because it is the real thing.

[lavecindad3000]

he hee i love horns

[alexsep82]

well done. hope u never gotta use it lol

[Phalanxification]

Moves around alot, doesn't it?

[misterbicep]

That's cool, I never knew how sirens worked before... Had no idea it was the spinning of those propeller things.

[sikhboys]

nice, works like a charm lol

[shavnore]

That is cool man. Im a big fan of buying random stuff.

[smartepants777]

Buying random stuff is fun!

[shavnore]

How much was that bro?

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

I purchased this for around $500usd if I remember it correctly.

[qAyyUm]

@BIGMIKESOCAL btw this thing u bought is for what?

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

@qAyyUm , I collect air raid sirens, ship horns, and locomotive horns. Check out my main Youtube channel to see more.

[waderp]

@BIGMIKESOCAL very cool :)

[MysticalKitty71]

@BIGMIKESOCAL That is a nice price, where did u get it from?

[boogeyman450]

Probably for use inside buildings, etc

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

It was used is several areas in Subic Bay US base in the Phillipines when the base was active. These were mounted on certain key spots on the ship dock and also mounted on the top section of the hanger doors.

[foxracing500r]

Does the pitch of it go any higher than in the video?

[MaxxFordham]

Doesn't sound big enough to be an AIR RAID siren!

[rhett443]

oh its loud.. just look up thunderbolt 1000

[MaxxFordham]

I believe it's probably somewhat loud, but it still sounds too small and wimpy--and looks too small--to be anything like a Carter/Gents or a Thunderbolt. (But it looks like a mini Gents/Carter ripoff.)

Just an opinion, ya know...

[rhenke]

That's great, Mike! Good find. Where do you get your horns from-Ebay? I've been trying to find one or make one but I can't even get an old electric one to work for me. I can't take one apart and and know what to fix or know why it doesn't work for me. I'd like to try to make a simple one that runs on compressed air with a makeshift diaphragm. Any idea how to learn that stuff? Anything would help. Great videos, Mike.

[sillywillysmarty]

whaaaa

[jacobcschick01]

no it couldn't have ambulance sirens had a smaller single side fan instead of a twin and its too large to have been put into a ambulance

[BIGMIKESOCAL]

It came of a former U.S.Navy base that was once in the Philippines called Subic Bay.

[ArcticWolf41]

That's a nice siren. I imagine that it took a long time to find one of those, especially being from 1939-1945. keep that thing going, and use that to teach people what things are like way back then.

[dizzyarmstrong]

this is a drill... repeat.... this is only a drill

hahaha nice!

[brandong17]

how far away could this be herd?

[TTULangGenius]

The Japanese reads "Tōkai Denki Kōgyō Kabushiki Kaisha" or "Tokai (literally "Eastern Sea") Electric Industrial Joint Stock Corporation." It's written in old Japanese character script used before WWII, making it an authentic find.  Really nice!

How did you power it?

[dymproductions]

i think i will need one of those in my room so i can wake up for school!!

[alinzelnan]

yeah you're right xDDDD

[a456987]

nice,  i want one

[SeMakea92]

=O Awesome!

[onox27]

i want to have one in my room

[BlazingAngels220099]

1:00 =O IT"S ALIVE!!!!!!

[VMFA115Starloric]

Nice drill :P

[BlazingAngels220099]

Yeah, Kismo94, The Britis one is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better.

[kismo94]

jap crap british one rules

[JpRUBB1SH]

wow very nice

[jlandles]

These air-raid sirens were modified to power Japanese vehicles. Many Japanese cars today run on a motor that is essentially the same as this siren - with the blades fitted to the crankshaft rather than left free. Small Japanese scooters are basically an air-raid siren on wheels.

[MaxxFordham]

Yeah, right...

[roperboy1]

where the hell did ya get that at i want one!!

[robyboy718]

Look at it move

[Sunmocker]

Godzilla!

[ibold1000]
